It was amazing! We went to celebrate our anniversary and it was our first time at Zanti. Our server Anahi was incredible. Her suggestions and knowledge made the experience even better. The truffle pizza shined which explains why it’s so popular. The wine selection was superb and the ambiance was upscale but relaxed. The pasta was creamy and delicious and the dessert (Tortino) was absolutely the cherry on top. Food, service, ambiance and price all on point and worth coming back for.

Great experience as always — wonderful ambiance and music, amazing service by Emily, great cocktails and dessert (coconut cream pie). Always fun when Tianna Hall and her band performs.

My most favorite dining experience of all time. I was a bit skeptic of trying the celebration add-ons, but y'all blew my expectations out of the water! Absolutely perfect evening for our 6th anniversary!

As always this place never disappoints. If you want to have a fun night with great food, music, and dancing this is definitely the place. We celebrated our 24th Wedding Anniversary and the staff was amazing in helping us celebrate. This is our second time celebrating one of our anniversary’s and I think we will make it a yearly experience.

Great for what it is - a neighborhood restaurant with experienced/knowledgeable staff, attentive service from the waiter and busser, a nice Italian wine list, a menu with the classic Italian choices, and solid food.

    Date night at Sidebar was exactly what we wanted. Excellent cocktails and mocktails, outstanding food, and the best service. Emily took great care of us and made the whole evening feel easy. It’s a lovely, intimate spot for jazz and a little ambience. Highly recommend, and we can’t wait to go back.
